Hmm. I have this sneaky feeling that it just might be something in the
system. Some system call that fails in peculiar ways or something like
that.
For example, sometimes fsck fails with a segfault on a clean filesystem.
I reboot and it runs fine. It never fails twice in a row. Running fsck
by hand is fine as well.
Regardless of the amount of memory installed, it always segfaults in
more or less the same place in the same file when I try to compile a
kernel.
It seems like it's not really random enough to be faulty memory.
Weird.
